Amicus Brief in Jones v. Dirty World Entertainment

This week CDT joined the ACLU and other allies on an amicus brief in an important case on the legal liability that content platforms face for users’ speech. The ruling, currently on appeal, misinterprets existing case law and directly contradicts Section 230 of the Communications Act. If not reversed, as we argue in our brief, countless websites that facilitate commerce and speech will be threatened by substantial new legal risk.
